Go Camping Oahu!

The Hawaiian islands are not well known for camping. However, there are a few really nice camping sites on Oahu & Maui!

Since there is not much budget accommodation (we did not like the Plantation village too much!) along the North Shore we decided to camp and it was a decision.

Malaekahana Campgrounds are great, quiet and quite private camping grounds with a nice beach! You can perfectly explore the North Shore and its surf from there with being only a few minutes away from Waimea, Sunset Beach and Haleiwa.

Note that you need a car and there is no way to drive into the grounds after 7pm but you always can walk in!

You can get your groceries shopping in Haleiwa or Foodlands in on the Kamehameha Hwy. Visit Haleiwa's Joe for lunch or dinner and have the best shaved ice on the island in Haleiwa. And, don't forget to stop by at Ted's bakery where all the locals have their breakfast - you won't regret it!
